Train your brain to meditate and focus (or not)

Researchers at InterAxon have developed a brain-sensing headband, Muse, that is a consumer electroencephalography (EEG) headset aimed at helping users train their brains to become more focused and less prone to distraction. It’s possibilities are endless, especially in the treatment of ADHD.

“Once the app is calibrated, users are guided through a three-minute exercise that aims to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety and increase focus and concentration. Users are asked to clear their mind as best they can and simply count their breaths from one to 10, beginning again when they reach 10. This is, of course, something you can do at any time; Muse simply allows users to view their performance.”
